history
The area around the city was formerly settled by Native Americans of the Oneida and Onondaga tribes until European emigrants came to the area in the late 18th century. The first white settler in the area was Benjamin Moorehouse in 1789. The village of Manlius was founded in 1792 by the German John A. Schaeffer. Fayetteville was founded a year earlier when Joshua Knowlton settled down there. Fayetteville was first known as the Manlius Four Corners after it was founded and was renamed after the local post office was founded. The Town of Manlius was laid out in 1794 as Township Number Seven in the Central New York Military Tract in the course of the establishment of Onondaga County. In addition to today's Town of Manlius, the area also included today's city of DeWitt, which was detached from the area of Manlius in 1835.
Between 1789 and 1803 a Presbyterian, a Baptist and a Congregational church were founded in Manlius. In 1801 there were six residential buildings, a pub, a grocery store, a doctor's office, a law firm and a blacksmith in Manlius. At the beginning of the 19th century, Manlius also received a post office. At that time Manlius showed very rapid growth, three years later the place already had 30 residential buildings. Before the construction of the Erie Canal , Manlius was an important trading place. In 1813 a weaving mill was built in the village, which was destroyed by fire in the 1830s. In 1842 Manlius was incorporated as a village, and Robert Fleming became the first mayor. Two years later, Fayetteville was also incorporated as a Village within the Town of Manlius. In the 19th century, Fayetteville's economy was shaped in particular by coal mining.
